Q: need to buy a device that will connect wifi when we go to grandma's and my granddaughter can play her ipad. no internet at her grandma's. thanks

A: You would need to purchase a mobile hot spot with a data plan from your mobile phone provider, or purchase a tablet with that ability built in. You cannot "connect wifi" when there is no existing service. Let her play on the iPad without the internet. She will survive. Better yet--put the iPad away, and talk to grandma. We used to do those sort of things. ;-)

Q: Will This Device Work With

A: I have Uverse and was having a problem with my wireless reaching my xbox one. I bought this device and it satisfied my issues. Just plug cat 5 into router and other end into device and plug into wall. plug the other into wall according to your preference and connect device and your done

Q: Blue light

A: In network hardware, blue is better than green! On cable modem, blue means using a faster protocol than green (i.e. Gigabit Ethernet which is blue vs Fast Ethernet which is green). On routers, the same thing is true

Q: Does this work if our computer is on a different circuit breaker than the main router is connected to?

A: Yes it should work as long as it's the same junction box.

Q: Will this work for a Samsung UHD 4K Smart tv?

A: It should as long as it has a cat 5 cable connection.

Q: power voltage

A: No.

Q: Will this work with a different model?

A: Yes, they will work.

Q: Can I use this to share internet with a friend in my same apartment building?

A: You can use it but still you need a wifi if you want to use multiple devices. IN MY OPINION YOU CAN USE BOTH TO INSURE QUALITY

Great solution
I wanted to find a solution to the problem of slow WiFi in a house that has shared internet. I know connecting the modem+router+computer with a wired Ethernet connection would give the fastest results but the internet isn't fast enough to make it necessary to use a cable. WiFi was still going to be too slow for me so I decided to give a power-line adapter a try. I just had to make sure the adapters were connected directly to the wall outlets. This particular product has a light that comes on letting you know that the connection between the two adapters is stable and good to go (meaning you picked good complimentary outlets). Then all I had to do was connect the adapters to the router and the other adapter to the computer that I wanted to have internet on, the adapters used the houses electrical cable system as a cable connection to bring internet to the room I wanted and I was good to go (this product also has security on it that doesn't allow anyone to siphon the internet connection from it, only the adapters communicate with each other and more adapters can be added later) . I have been maxing-out the internet speeds using this product while everyone else in the house is stuck with WiFi speeds. Keep in mind, this is not a device designed to give you wireless connections or extend your wireless connection range, this is a device that you are supposed to use as an alternative to a wired cable connection. Instructions for the product and use of the product were very straight-forward for me. I have to say, based on my experience, this product is an awesome alternative to a cable Ethernet connection.

Net Gear 500 Nanno Ethernet Adapter Kit
These two little beauties save me LOTS of work, and money to buy a LONG ethernet cable. One of the adapters was tied to my router in the basement, and then going through the house wiring to another adapter located on the first floor at the opposite end of the house. It would have taken 100 feet of ethernet cable and LOTS of work to achieve the same result. These babies will save your much grief and do the job well!

Works Great
I struggled getting a strong wifi connection in the basement for my ps4 (even tried range extenders but they were unreliable). The PowerLine adapter works as expected. The connection appears to be very similar to plugging directly into the router(maybe a little slower). I am able to play games like COD and MLB the show online with no lag It is also the definition of plug and play and was very easy to setup. Overall worth the money and a good alternative when running ethernet cables is not an option.
